I get questions. I do.Why don't you post more about television?Umm... I would have to watch television in order to do that. I kind-of don't do that.It's not like I'm one of those people who say "I don't even own a television." That wouldn't be at all true... I do have one. It's biggish, and heavy.And it's not like I don't know how to turn it on... I do... and I even do so from time to time.Do I watch TV every day? Why, no.Every week? Again... no.Do I watch it at least once a month? Ummm... I'm pretty sure ...

Hee hee! Hat tip to the ever-delightful Eden on this. (Check out the Habanera at her post.) I went looking and found the clip below of Danny Boy with Swedish Chef, Beaker and Animal. Too funny! And just for good measure, Beethoven's Ode to Joy. With Beaker. Technorati Tags: Muppets,Danny Boy,Ode To Joy,Beaker ...

And coming from me, that's saying quite a bit. Suede's performance last Saturday at Philly's Tin Angel was phenomenal. Although I've been a Suede fan for years, I've never had the pleasure of seeing her perform live. I can't believe I deprived myself of "The Diva" for so long.Suede mostly performed songs from her newest CD, Dangerous Mood (I was hoping for Sister, but I quickly got over it). Accompanied by the incomparable Janice Friedman on piano and Max Weber on bass, Suede gave the impression that performing is an effortless (and fun-filled)endeavor. The title song, Dangerous Mood, contained ...

It's the strangest thing... nothing.Of course, it's not quite "nothing." His Highness Prince Pussy Pussy Pussy Pussy Pussy Kitty Sweetie was in a moment ago to register his displeasure. He's feeling rather full of himself and he thinks others should be singing his praises just now (rather than typing away at a computer keyboard).Meh... The Cat is pretty fucking good at singing his own praises. Moreover, there just isn't anything that I could add.The thing of it is: there was this moth.Did you notice my diabolical use of the word "was" there? Yeah.Said moth was doing that mothy thing they ...

The world just received word that Dave Matthew's Band saxophonist, LeRoi Moore, died today due to complications from a June ATV accident. He was a founding member of the band and an incredible player. When I was in high school and college, I was a rabid fan of DMB. I attended quite a few concerts and had every one of their CD's.When I hear one of their songs on the radio now, many fond memories come rushing back: prom nights, graduation night, summer parties, my freshman year of college. Even though I have plenty of bad memories from those ...

This was a nice one! My friend Justin posted this here, and I commented on his entry. So, here is the meme: If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.

I pretty much took the day off to rebuild the PC. There are some minor things left to be done, but I am basically back up and running. Sigh. The Palm can't sync via USB under 64 bit Vista, but it can sync via wireless, so that's okay. There were a few other compatibility issues, but nothing earth shattering. Deb came over to work on newsletter stuff, and I took the opportunity to do some domestic chores. (Truth to tell, I pretty much needed to step away from the keyboard.) I also got a call from my friend Aelis, who ...

Justin took this. I think I saw it on a few other blogs that I know. Again, not sure if this has any validity, but it was interesting. Your result for The Perception Personality Image Test...

I went to Spin last night with my friend G-Man and when not drooling over Hunter, the pleasant, very hot, allegedly straight bartender/performer-in-training, we were meeting—albeit very briefly—celebrities. Well, one celebrity. You know ANTHONY RAPP? He originated the role of Mark in Rent as well as played the part in the musical's movie version. Well, he showed up just as we were leaving. He had given a special, private performance of his new, one-man play Without You, which will run from Aug. 28-Sep. 1 at City Theatre. As we brushed past him, G-Man said to ...
